We did pretty good during the previous Clinton years, I would like to see us go back to that standard (regardless of who is in charge).
Two comments here: It takes about 3 years to see the full and true effect of a president/gov decision.. The economy, like any ‘business’, takes a least 3 years for a change to be felt. I am not defending the current administration. They had things initially right until they allowed credit standards to loosen in 2003. I am surprised that Greenspan did not realize that loosening credit standards were the reason why increasing fed rates were not felt in the economy.
A quote from the article: In one of her most extensive interviews about how she would approach the economy, Mrs. Clinton laid out a view of economic policy that differed in some ways from that of her husband, Bill Clinton. Mr. Clinton campaigned on his centrist views, and as president, he championed deficit reduction and trade agreements.
Notice a problem here? Any time a ‘one sided’ governmental view is in place; we, the people, are in trouble. Part of Bill Clinton’s success is that he took a ‘centrist’ path (unlike what the present admin has been doing, and what Hillary Clinton plans to do)
